        Re: Multiple drug arrest               

       
                The McCracken County Sheriff's Department Drug Division received information that alleged illegal drug activity to be occurring at 824 Bachman Street, which is located off of South 9th Street in Paducah. The investigation led to detectives obtaining a search warrant for the residence.

       
                At 11:10 p.m. McCracken County Sheriff's Drug Detectives executed the warrant and discovered the residence to be occupied by four (4) adult individuals. A search of the residence revealed Cocaine, items of drug paraphernalia, and Marijuana. Three (3) of the adults were arrested and transported to the Sheriff's Department where the investigation continued. As part of the ongoing investigation detectives interviewed the individuals and obtained confessions from them concerning there drug use. Detectives also learned where some of the Cocaine that was being used at this particular location was coming from.

                As the investigation continued detectives set up surveillance on the residence located at 824 Bachman after an arrangement was made for an individual to bring a quantity of Cocaine to the residence to sell. While waiting for the Cocaine to be delivered the suspect (Jamison A. Frazier) and individual that was bringing the Cocaine contacted two different detectives on there personal cell phones to let them know he was on his way with the Cocaine.

                "The suspect in this case was calling who he thought was legitimate Cocaine buyers, not knowing they were drug detectives". Det. Sgt. Matt Carter

                When Mr. Frazier arrived at the residence he called one of the detectives cell phone back and told them he was outside, further requesting that they come outside to get the Cocaine. At that point several detectives surrounded the vehicle that Mr. Frazier was driving and found him to be in possession of a quantity of Cocaine and money. He was transported to the McCracken County Regional Jail.
